Archos 9 Tablet Netbook Unveiled, Coming This Fall With Windows 7

Archos is a company famous for their Archos 5 and 7 tablet PCs, and now they’ve announced another device called Archos 9. Although we’ve heard rumors about this mobile computing device quite a while ago, Archos unveiled it only now. You can call this tablet PC a tablet netbook, the important thing is that the Archos 9 is a tablet which will “redefine” mobile computing, but we’ve seen others who said the same thing and nothing happened.

The Archos 9 tablet netbook is very thin as it’s only .63-inch thick, and it’s very lightweight as it weighs only 22.29oz. I must say that the design is pretty impressive, but I am kinda disappointed that the tablet is based on a resistive touchscreen. I would have preferred a capacitive touchscreen, but I guess this is just me.

The Archos 9 is powered by a Intel Atom Z515 Processor, 9-inch full touchscreen, and Windows 7. The tablet netbook features WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, optical trackball, Microsoft Office, web TV and Radio, video conferencing, Access to Media, parental control, and many other applications like an antivirus, and multimedia apps.

I am crazy about the optical trackball, and I’m excited that the tablet is based on Windows 7. I cannot wait for it to be released this fall. I expect the Archos 9 to be released sometime in late-October after Windows 7 is launched for a very expensive price.
